Fuel consumption

Do you guys experience higher fuel consumption in winter? Not sure if I imagine it, but I seem to. When winter strikes my car seems to get less km out of a tank.

Yeah it quite common on petrol cars, was mentioned earlier in thread
 
I think I need to request a change to my office hours and work from 10am to 6pm.

And then take a leisurely 100km/h drive to the office and home.

This mornings trip cruising at 95km/h for most of the trip. 20220601_102213.jpg

Rarely ever fill the tank full, at the previous fuel price a 100km of commute will cost more or less R100 maybe R120 of fuel. Filling R150 will leave me a little extra in the tank after my journey than I started with.

Make: Toyota Corolla (2009)
Tank: 50l

On Figo, use to get 100kms for R100 now its like 79kms for R150.
 
Not bad over that distance, I think.

Second pic is since last fill up, note the fuel gauge

Thanks to the current road works this last tank has gone completely to ****. Will be lucky to get 800.

Yes, all mnfrs use confusing numbers / nomenclature now to confuse users into thinking they're getting a bigger engine while gently screwing them over.. Anyway the 2009—2014 W204 model had a 3 litre v6 and later W205 onward they added 2 x turbos to the 3litre and called it a C43..

Is your temp gauge usually below ~90 or was this taken before the engine was completely warmed up?
